1/2 cup refried beans, canned
3 tablespoons shredded monterey jack pepper cheese
1 tablespoon chopped pickled jalapeno chile
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 small onion, chopped fine
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1 lb 90% lean ground beef
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1 medium canned chipotle chili, chopped, plus 1 teaspoon adobo sauce
1/2 cup water
2 teaspoons lime juice
9 1/2 ounces tortilla chips
4 cups shredded monterey jack pepper cheese
2 jalapeno chiles, sliced into thin rings (medium)

Steps:

  • Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 400 degrees.

Add garlic, chili powder, cumin, oregano, and salt and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add beef and cook, breaking meat into small bits with wooden spoon and scraping pan bottom to prevent scorching, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes.

Add water, bring to simmer, and cook over medium-low until mixture is nearly dry, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in lime juice and transfer mixture to plate lined with several layers of paper towels. Use more paper towels to blot up excess grease.
  • To assemble: Spread half of chips on large serving platter or 13 by 9-inch baking dish. Dollop half of bean mixture over chips, then spread evenly. Scatter half of beef mixture over beans, top with 2 cups cheese and half of jalapeƱos. Repeat with remaining chips, beans, beef, cheese, and jalapeƱos. Bake until cheese is melted and just beginning to brown, 12 to 14 minutes. Serve with salsa and other suggested garnishes.

  • Layer your nachos. The order in which you layer your nachos is important. Start with a layer of chips, then add a layer of cheese, followed by your favorite toppings. This will help ensure that the cheese melts evenly and the toppings stay in place.
  • Use a variety of toppings. The best nachos have a variety of toppings that offer different flavors and textures. Some popular toppings include ground beef, chili, beans, tomatoes, onions, peppers, and guacamole. Get creative and experiment with different toppings to find your favorite combinations.
  • Don't overload your nachos. It's tempting to pile on all your favorite toppings, but it's important to not overload your nachos. Too many toppings will make them soggy and difficult to eat. Stick to a few layers of toppings so that each bite is packed with flavor.
  • Serve your nachos immediately. Nachos are best served immediately after they are made. This will help ensure that the chips stay crispy and the cheese stays melted. If you need to make your nachos ahead of time, you can store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours before baking.
